Best High Yield Interest Savings Accounts

I would not blame you if you were worried about the stability of the banks, especially the ones holding your money. For one, the only time you should worry about this is when your savings account has more than what is covered by the FDIC insurance. Apparently from this news source, no one has lost a single penny that was covered by FDIC insurance. So, if you are someone who has an account holding more than the deposit insurance, you have a few options. You can open a new account in spouse’s name, or open a new savings account with a different bank. The only ‘risky’ part is when your bank account is holding more than what the FDIC insurance amount is.

The chances of your bank going down is pretty slim, but that does not mean it could not happen to you. It is always a good idea to be prepared for the worst.
